   Unravel the code. The serial number looks like this: 6144526 84302. The serial number is formatted (LNNNNNN YWWFF).

   • L the number of the production line within the factory,
   • NNNNNN the number of the Xbox within this week.
   • Y the last digit of the production year,
   • WW the number of the week of the production year
   • FF is the code of the factory (02: Mexico, 03: Hungary, 05: China, 06: Taiwan).

   Put it altogether. Taking the serial number 6144526 14302 this would give you:

   • This would be 144526 off the production line
   • 2008 production year
   • Week 43 of the year
   • Factory location Mexico.
